These are the 10 best-paid jobs in the Netherlands

It is often said: 'you will not become rich as an employee'. But if we take a look at the best-paid jobs in the Netherlands, opinions are divided. Although love and passion for your profession naturally predominate, earning a good salary is also a pleasant side effect. Do you have one of these? 10 lanes? Then that's fine. Text: Patrick Stoffer

10. Professor (€100.000)

With a lot of diligence and knowledge you can make a big difference in society. And that will earn you about a hundred thousand euros per year.

9. Dentist and orthodontist (€ 110.000)

You have to do something to look into someone's mouth all day, but hey... the salary says it all.

8. Lawyer (€130.000)

This annual salary is really the top in the legal profession and you need at least seven years of work experience for this. There are significant differences in salaries among lawyers. As a newcomer you can do the 'dirty work' and start with a salary of 'only' € 45.000.

7. Prime Minister / Minister (€170.000)

It has been a lot of work for the Prime Minister and ministers in recent years. It is therefore not surprising that they can also count on a decent salary.

6. Pilot and captain (€180.000)

A pilot or captain can count on a meager two tons per year. However, this is not for everyone, because this only applies to the top. As a co-pilot for a low-cost airline, you will unfortunately have to make do with much less.

5. Private banker or real estate investor (€ 180.000)

There are plenty of success stories in this profession, provided you have the necessary luck, perseverance and put a lot of effort into it. As a real estate investor, risks will not be inevitable, so there is also a large number who do not earn much and the top ones significantly increase the average.

4. Operational or financial director (€ 190.000)

It is not surprising that in addition to the CEO, the CFO and COO also earn a nice amount of money.

3. CEO / General Manager (€ 210.000)

Before you immediately run to the Chamber of Commerce to start your own business: self-employed people are not included in this calculation.

2. Senior Medical Specialist (€ 220.000)

Due to the intensive, long study, as a Senior Medical Specialist you only really start earning money from the age of thirty. As a result, buying a house, for example, will take a little longer.

1. Plastic surgeon (€420.000)

In a time like this, where a visit to a plastic surgeon is almost the same as a visit to the dentist or supermarket, it will not surprise you that a plastic surgeon is number 1. This is if you are the owner of the clinic. As an employed plastic surgeon, you can still reach € 140.000 with quite a bit of overtime. You earn around €35.000 per month.
